i actually would say i don't know alot about alot of things, but i know the basics of quite a bit it seems to me. | One thing you'll find out about Canada (which you already know a little about) is that Quebec is it's own little world .... they seem to identify more with the French than their English masters .... I love Canadians ... when I travel out of the country I say I'm from Canada .. everyone loves Canadians ... you say you're from the US and they will treat you like crap (sometimes) but never if you claim yourself a Canadian ... it's worked every time 
The older you get and the more you travel you will see how people are more alike than they will admit ... no matter where you live ,,, Russia to Timbuktu ... all parents want the same thing ... safety for their children ... during different stages of your life you/we want certain things ... once you become a parent ... you just want a safe and happy place to raise your kids and a better future for them ... up until then a person usually stays more focus on there own little section of the world .... they focus on friends, fun .. then "POOF" one day you have this little bundle that is totally dependant on you and you go all gooey on the inside and you are forever changed .... but then that's just how I see it as a Mom ....
